Analysis
Greenland recorded 71.49 for food ghg emissions by system stage (share of total) - production in 2015.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 2.3% on the previous year and up 5.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food ghg emissions by system stage (share of total) - production in Greenland peaked at 73.57 in 2013 and was at its lowest, 12.85, in 2002.
Greenland ranks 18th of 201 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Food GHG emissions disaggregated by system stage are generated from EDGAR-FOOD, a global emission inventory of GHGs from the food systems. EDGAR-FOOD has been developed to aid the understanding of the activities underlying the energy demand and use, agriculture and land use change emissions associated with the production, distribution, consumption and disposal of food through the various stages and sectors of the composite global food system. These data were complemented with data from the FAOSTAT database on GHG emissions from land use related to agriculture (FAO, 2020). EDGAR-FOOD represents the first database consistently covering each stage of the food chain for all countries with yearly frequency for the period 1990-2015. Details regarding the methodology applied are available in Crippa et al. (2021).
